animals doing yoga... :-)

Yoga is one of the most ancient and spiritual inventions by Homo Sapiens, i.e. by humans. But that doesn’t mean that animals can’t do it too! Here are our 20 cute and furry friends that took a page from their health-minded owners’ yoga books and did some relaxing stretches.

So 'stretch' in.









OK, so maybe they aren’t all doing yoga, but there is a striking resemblance between their poses and actual yoga postures.






Some yoga poses, like upward- and downward-facing dog, are clear nods to the fact that our friends came up with these poses before we did.




While they may not be feeling the spiritual context that many people associate with the practice of yoga, you can tell that they still love a good stretch.



There can be many reasons why your pet might want to stretch (besides because they’ve been napping all day), but for most, it can be a way to express their comfort around you.
